Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a spraying device with the features mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 is known in which a discharge opening is closed by a valve piston tip.
  • This valve piston tip is part of a valve piston which is supported supporting against a spring.
  • the medium may be introduced through the interior of the valve piston and discharged through corresponding openings in the valve piston into a filling space, wherein a pressure is exerted on a piston surface, which causes the valve piston to move against a spring and the valve piston tip releases the discharge opening.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a device of the above. To develop a way, with which a medium can be applied simply and exactly metered.
  • the compressible element provided in a development of the invention may be, for example, an air ring or the like. It is important that the element is compressible under pressure.
  • the different possibilities of the embodiment of the compressible element, that is od as an air ring, as ball or the like, are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.
  • the element If the medium now flows through the channel and the recess in the valve piston into the filling space due to the pressure exerted on the container, the element is compressed under the pressure of the medium. Subsequently, the compressed medium presses on the valve piston. At the same time, the compressed by the medium element can relax and the medium is forced out of the filling space through the opening to the outside.
  • connection between the container and the filling space is effected by a channel and a recess in the valve piston itself.
  • This channel should be closable by the valve piston at the moment in which the filling space is filled and the opening is opened. If now the flow of the medium is interrupted, the spring-loaded valve piston is returned to its original position, wherein he ejects a precisely metered amount from the opening.
  • the valve piston tip is also formed from two cones, wherein the first cone with a metering chamber, which is formed by the opening, cooperates. The second cone serves to seal the filling space relative to the external environment.
  • the device for the metered dispensing of a medium especially in the case of eye drops, provides a further embodiment of erfindungefflessen device to arrange the container at an angle of approximately 90 ° to the upper housing part and the lower housing part.
  • the embodiment has been described by way of example only the embodiments of the device for the metered dispensing of a medium shown.
  • the other embodiments of the device for metered dispensing of a medium can be used.
  • an apparatus for the metered dispensing of a medium an upper housing part 1, which is a container 5 is placed.
  • the container 5 is the designed for the metered dispensing of a medium.
  • valve piston 3 which closes an opening 17 with a valve piston tip 12.
  • the valve piston 3 also has a piston surface 9, which sealingly bears against an inner wall 19 of an insert 20 inserted into the housing upper part 1.
  • piston surface 9 includes a sleeve portion 21, which receives a spring 4, on the other hand is supported against an insert bottom 22.
  • the sleeve portion 21 terminates with a projection 23 which also bears against the inner wall 19.
  • a filling space 18 is formed, which communicates via a channel 6 between insert 20 and upper part 1 and a channel portion 24 with the interior of the container 5 in connection.
  • a valve piston 3.1 here has the piston surface 9, which is supported directly against the housing lower part 2 via the spring 4.
  • this spring 4 also moves a sleeve portion 21.1 and a projection 23.1.
  • this has a cross-sectional area which is considerably smaller than the piston surface 9.
  • it cooperates with a cone 25 which rises from the lower housing part 2.
  • an exit window 7 of a channel 6.1 can be seen, can escape through the medium through the exit window 7 in the valve piston 3.1.
  • the medium can flow through a recess 26 in the valve piston 3.1 and exits through a further window 8 into the filling space 18.
  • the backward stroke of the piston surface 9 is limited by the stop of the projection 23.1 against the cone 25, whereby the medium flow is interrupted by the surface contact of the projection 23.1 on the cone 25 and the sealing lip action of the projection 23.1.
  • the filling chamber 18 is depressurized, so that the spring force of the spring 4 can move the valve piston 3.1 in the starting position.
  • metered drops from the opening 17.
  • a drip edge 14 or surface 15 on the valve piston 3.1 and the upper housing part 1 the drop dissolves in the overhead position of the system.
  • the valve piston movement in the direction of the opening 17 of the metered drops is pressed from the upper housing part 1 and simultaneously closes the valve piston tip 12 via the spring 4, the system microbiologically tight.
  • valve piston tip 12 which is formed from two cones, and the opening 17 or the Gesimousoberteils- 1, the drip edge 14 or surface 15 and the liquid outlet is set.
  • FIG. 3 A further embodiment of the inventive device for the metered dispensing of a medium is in FIG. 3 shown.
  • an air ring 27 is arranged in the filling space 18 above the piston surface 9 to the valve piston 3.1 around.
  • the air ring 27 is, as the name implies, filled in its interior 28 with air, whereby it is compressible.
  • this embodiment of the inventive device is also similar to the operation of the embodiment described above, which is why reference is made to this point.
  • the air ring 27 is compressed when the medium enters the filling space 18. After overcoming the force of the spring 4, the medium also presses the valve piston 3.1 under bias, so that the air ring 27 can relax and supports the discharge of the medium from the filling space 18. Since the filling chamber 18 is now depressurized, the spring force of the spring 4 moves the valve piston 3.1 back to its original position. Due to the stroke of the valve piston 3.1, the valve piston tip 12 presses the drops located in the dosing chamber 13 out of the opening 17. The drip edge 14 or surface 15 on the valve piston 3.1 and the housing upper part 1 dissolve the droplet
  • This embodiment does not provide for a change in the mode of operation, so reference is made to the above descriptions at this point.
